Why parents sent DCs to school in trousers that are too short (they can suddenly grow overnight and the trousers were fine the day before)

Why parents send DCs to school with no coats (he has left TWO coats at school, I am not buying a third for it to be left at school as well, he can bloody well get cold on the way to school and hopefully that'll remind him to LOOK for a coat when he sodding well gets there)

My dsis (no children) still thinks pregnant ladies just make a fuss and should get on with it! Crying baby's are the fault of the parents and naughty toddlers just need a firm hand. Hahahahaha. When she has other people's children they behave .

Me and my other sister can't wait for her to get pregnant. We're both just going to sit back and watch.

Why small children never wear clothes that fit. They are always too big or too small. I now realise babies and toddlers clothes are bought with growing room then fit properly for about half an hour before they are too small

Why SAHMs would send their children to nursery - surely they should want to spend time with their own children?! I still don't plan on sending mine, but I totally get why people do!

Why my DSis couldn't just let DNiece (5) stay with us for a couple of days without ringing several times to check on her. Did she not trust us?! DS has recently spent 24 hours with my parents, during which I was in regular text-contact with DMum & a whole weekend with DPILs which was agony because I wasn't in contact with them at all. DH rang them once just to check pick-up arrangements. DS was fine & had a great time!

Why parents think it's cute to let their DCs answer the phone and therefore force their friends to attempt to have a jolly conversation with a silent child for 5 minutes before finally taking pity and letting them speak to who they rang for.

Oh, sorry that's something I STILL don't understand! Never let my buggers anywhere near the phone, I have never got over the "DC wants to talk to you..." sinking feeling.

Why my friends kitchen floors were all so grubby. Surely a quick vacuum would get rid of all the crumbs/dustbunnies/suspect crusty-looking detritus? And surely with kids you needed to keep the place spotless so they didn't pick up germs etc.???

the true meaning or tiredness. even now when childless friends say oh im so tired i think - you're so not. not at all. and if you are, you can lie in on saturday rather than counting down the minutes til cbeebies starts

Why parents doing the school run looked like shit ( I worked in a school at the time) now I'm heavily pregnant and have the school run for dd - I generally look like a young bag lady and tbh I couldn't care less, the fact I'm not still in pjs is, in itself a huge accomplishment lol

The immense love u feel for this little person and how funny a toddler can actually be, but the lack of sleep really is a killer and sometimes the little beings fool you into thinking that they're finally sleeping through and it goes back to square one!!! And everything takes twice as long even if ur just popping to the corner shop!
